Not to Mince Matters, By Harry Hollingsworth TTTT "T'TI ' a i fTvTI m l4 We don't know exactly what to say this morning. We received a letter in the mail yesterday which sorta. made cs rise to the boiling point, but after reading it the second and third times we feel that perhaps the letter should be ignored. - We are the first one to rise al-' ways to fair play and good sports manship, both on the part of par tici pants and spectators, at all ath letic functions. It's a known fact that deeds of vandalism and poor sportsmanship are very rarely done by members of athletic teams which meet annually in all types of sport. Such anyhow, has been the case in athletic con tests between Carolina and Duke in all sports. That's why we hesitate in publish ing this letter. "The writer, a person we don't know, has assumed a defiant attitude that he and the team he is supporting is all mighty and no other team iould ever think it has the re motest chance of defeating it under any circumstances. And that may be true. There's an old saying, however, that "nothing ventured, nothing gain ed." It could very well apply to this situation. The letter, which we consider one of the poorest both from a gram matical and sportsmanship point of view follows in the next para graph. We have copied it just as it was written. Parts of it don't make much sense. "Dear Sir: "I read an article by H. C. Cranford of Carolina University last week, in it he said the students at Carolina were savins, "Beat Duke, Beat Duke after the Wake Forest basket ball rromo Tuit week! Now. I say that snunds rather silly, don't you? It is just like the Football game last fall, you all don't have a chance against Dnke this vear so see that you don't and your fellow students say such silly words as "Beat Duke" when you Know Hnn't have a chance against the powerful Duke Basket ball team. Oh, well H. C. is only a Freshman so Duke him if he says such things." A Duke Booster, Bill Turman, Box 828, Durham. "P. S. Just a little inside dope for you: Duke will be the top basketball team this year." B. T. We think the letter is so worthless we wouldn't waste a match in burn ing it on.

By Last-Minute Rally, 56-45 Hartley, Henson Leading Scorers For Freshmen FOR SHOES- FLORSHEIM CROSBY SQUARE BEDROOM SLIPPERS TENNIS FIELD SHOES FOR RAIN OR SNOW BERMAN'S By Earle Hellen State's undefeated frosh basketball team derailed the unbeaten march of the Tar Baby cagers last night in Woollen eym when it nut on a thrill ing last minute finish to overwhelm Doc Siewert's club, 56-45, after trail ing by nine points at the half. The Tar Babies fell completely to pieces in the second haif after play ing good ball in the first half. The oss of their two key men, Dick Hart- ey and Don Henson, weakened the rosh considerably in the last half. Hartley injured his shoulder early in ;he second half and, although he re turned to action for a brief period ater, he was visibly handicapped. Henson" fouled out of the game with 8:30 minutes left to play after tally ing nine points. Babies in Lead Carolina was in the lead the whole way until 5:45 minutes were left in he ball game, when State went out into the lead for the first time, 44-43. With only three minutes remaining, the Tar Babies were trailing by one point, 46-45, but State tallied 10 points in the next two minutes to sew up the ball game. The Tar Babies' downfall started after six minutes of the second half, after Henson had dropped in a crip to boost their lead to 41-32. In the re maining 14 minutes Carolina could get only four points, to State's 24. Two former Asheville hich stars. Dick Nickel and Joe Johns, paced the Tech lets' attack in the second half with each getting 10 points. Lead Cut With Carolina leading 41-32, Johns and Nickel 'dropped in field goals and Morris two foul shots to off-set a pair of free throws by Hartley to cut the lead to-43-38 with 8:30 minutes left in the game. Henson fouled outi of the game at this point, crippling the Tar Babies considerably. niW Nickel was true on a one-hand shot from the side' and Leo Katkaveck dropped in a one-hand beauty from the foul circle to pull State to witnin one noint. 43-42. Joe Johns went into ac tion and dropped in a field goal from the side to nut the Techlets in tne lead, 44-43, with 5:45 minutes left in the game. Nickel increased the lead when he batted in a rebound. Frank Warren kept the Tar Babies in the game when he scored from be neath the basket to cut the btate ieaa to 46-45. Lead Gone With three minutes left the Techlets went wild. Joe Johns tossed in a one- hand shot from out beyond the foul circle. Holiday grabbed the ball in an rmrfpr-the-basket scramble and same a two-pointer. Dick Nickel, wide open th hosket. tallied a snow bird to boost the lead to 52-45.

It was the scoring feat of Carolina's sophomore star, Don Wilson, who bagged 15 points to lead the Tar Heels to a 41-28 victory over the Red Terrors in a hard, fast basketball game which at times became extremely rough. . After the first four minutes of the game, the White rnantoms, DON WILSON further demonstrated last night that he will be among the high scorers on the Tar Heel team this year by marking up 15 points in leading the White Phantoms to a 41-28 victory over State.

Soyers, Harris, Johnston Show Much Improvement If comparative scores can be any way of telling, the University of Virginia boxing team should have little trouble disposing of the underdog Tar Heel mittmen. Virginia had little trouble taking the VPI mittmen over the past weekend, and seeing that the Techmen beat the Tar Heels 5-3, the general opinion is that the Cavaliers will re deem themselves for the 1941 defeat. However, Coach Mike Ronman has discarded all figures and has been grooming a team which he hopes 'will snell disaster to Virginia hopes. The odds are all in favor of Virginia, but with the addition of two men who seem to have a better than even chance of coming through with victories, the Tar Heel mentor sits in his own little corner and readilv admits that the Cavaliers have a busy night ahead of them if they expect to treat the Tar Heels lightly. The past week has brought about a change in several boxers. The changes have all been for the best and while the dopesters figure an easy Vir ginia victory, this group of mittmen has been practicing diligently in an effort to bolster its lineup and spring Sm BOXING, page 4 Kappa Sigs, Zetes Take One-Sided Intramural Wins YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Zeta Psi No. 2, 53; Pi Kappa Alpha No. 1, 4. Kappa Sigma No. 3, 44; Phi Alpha No. 1, 15. Zeta Psi, ruler in fraternity wres tling for two years, walloped Pi Kappa Aloha No. 1 by a 53-4 score in the top mural cage game yesterday. Ike Wright set the pace for the winners netting 15 points on seven field goals and a foul try. Sim Andrews, frosh renter last vear. nlayed a fine floor Mine for the Zetes and marked up six noints for his team. Ernest Hack ney and Junie Peele each sank four field efforts for eight points tying for runner-up scoring honors The Pikas were out of the game completely and were rarely able to gain possession of the ball. Kappa Sigma's best, the No. 3 quint, topped the Phi Alphas with ease by a 44-15 count. Doug Batchelor, Kappa Sig center and leading pointmaker, hit the hoop for six field goals and four fouls totaling 16 markers. Times of Past Class Track Meets Promise Good Contests This Year If events and performances in past interclass track meets are any criteria, the coming indoor interclass meet should be packed full of high-flying deeds. . . The annual spring meet among the classes has always produced thrills, upsets and record-smashing perfor- Coach Johnny Morriss announced yesterday that all varsity and fresh man hurdlers will work out in the Tin Can tomorrow night at 7 o'clock. All sprint men will have a special workout in the Tin Can Friday night. mances. Stars have fallen by the way side as some insignificant freshman runner or a little-known senior hurd ler turned in sensational perform ances. Davis, Corpening Starred Jimmy Davis, Carolina's greatest miler, who was practically positive as surance of a Tar Heel victory in the mile-run while he was on the track team here, turned in a blazing 4:17 mile a few years ago in the interclass meet. As it turned out this wae better than his performance in the Southern conference meet that same year. Bill Corpening, who was just about a one man team here, garnering points in almost any event you care to mention, also turned in a great performance in one of the class battles. He went 6'1" which is the university record for the high jump. Strangely enough, this was also better than the perform ance Corpening turned in the same year in the conference meet. Men have taken victories in the con ference meets through the years, only to come a cropper running for their own class in these spirited "backyard battles. Close Competition The intenseness of the competition can be the only reason given for some of the fine performances recorded in these interclass duels. . The class rivalry has often resulted in men turn ing in better performances than they did in a regular track meet against another school. The meets have also given little heralded men a chance to get their share of the spotlight. The list of men who have come off the mural fields to star on the track team is long and star studded, the latest addition being sen ior Harry Lewis, who won fame last spring by taking everything offered in the way of sprints in the interclass meet. who racked up their fourth conference win against one defeat and their third Big Five victory, dominated the scor ing except for a brief period mid-way the second half. Wilson Hot Again ' Wilson almost duplicated the scoring work he did against the Deacs last week when he paced the Tar Heels with 18 points. From all over the court, Wilson shot snow-birds, crips, long shots and every other type of shot there is in the books to garner his 15 points. During the second half, when the play- became rough at times, Wilson was slowed down and held to four points for the duration, but his 11 points in the opening stanza had already done the damage and Bob Gersten and Bob Rose picked up where Wilson left off. Gersten got six of his eight points and Rose basketed his night's total of four points in the second half. Gersten's eight points was his aver age amount of points per game, but Rose's four was a drop from his aver age of nearly 11 points a game. But what he lacked in his usual scoring work, he more than made up with his work under the backboard and on the floor. He picked off most of the re bounds and held State's McKinney to 12 points, four markers short of his average of 16 points a game No Clown Bones had been billed as a great clown who would appeal to the crowd with antics of all sorts, but much to the disappointment of the nearly 5,000 fans he only departed from the accepted con duct of a basketball player twice. The first time was when the Carolina student body, in response to a cry from the State fans, "Rose ain't so hot," set ud a crv. "Bones ain't so hot." The lanky one, who was married during the Christmas holidays, curtsied to the Carolina stands and the shouts stopped. The second time was a little later, when he started to shoot a foul shot. As he stepped to the foul line, a great veil went up from the Carolina stu dents. McKinney appealed for quiet and then reclined on the floor while Captain Bob Rose and the Carolina cheer leaders brought the students un der control. Tie Game Coach Bill Lange started George Paine, Julian Smith, Bob Rose, Bobby Gersten and Reid Suggs, but substitut ed Wilson for Smith after two minutes and 25 seconds. Five seconds Jater Wilson shot two foul goals after he had been nipped by George Strayhorn to tie the game at 2-all. State took the lead at the 3 :30 mark when Jack Tabscott made good on foul shot, but Wilson put the Tar Heels in the game again with a tap in after Sueres missed a long shot. That twin nointer placed Carolina in the lead, 4-3, and the Tar Heels were never headed until 3 :56 of the second half when State took a short-lived lead of 20-19 when Bernie Mock tapped in a goal from under the basket. With Wilson carrying the scoring burden, x the Tar Heels were leading 18-13 at the end of the first half. Lou Hayworth garnered three points, Paine two, and Gersten two, accounting for the other Tar Heel scores in the first half.
